Speaking of ricky gervais, does anyone remember when he made fun of JY for wanting to go to the OBGYN? Said something to the effect of "what are they checking for, cancer in your bollocks?" Yeah ~i wonder why~ he gets to say that but jk can't be reasonably concerned about women's safety.

Fucking exactly, this is what I'm talking about. How does he get away with saying blatantly inflammatory things like that while Rowling has the entire world crashing around her for having a nuanced and wary approach to gender politics?

I suspect Gervias was pressured to shut up or he couldn't host the Oscars. Before he hosted, he used to make a lot of these comments but he's stopped. IDK he could just be busy, but I wonder!
